Users may be using the chip name filtering feature of sensors(1) in scripts for example, renaming "isa" to "platform" would break these for ISA/LPC chips. So the change would make the upgrade path slightly more difficult. I don't know if this reason is good enough to not do it, though. I wonder what other developers and users think about the idea? Anyone wants to argue in one direction or the other? This is the right time. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
